JUST KtBITZING
'M' Past Reveals Great Sprinters
By DICK KRAUS, DAILY SPORTS EDITOR
It's just one day before the Major League baseball season gets un-
derway and yet the most frequent topic with the athletic set on this
campus is the toll charge for the use of the tennis courts.
Why all the furor? Well, suppose out of a clear blue sky you're
sitting in the library pouring over a reference book and an atten-
dant taps you on the shoulder and says, "twenty-five cents please,
for the w?_ar and tear on the book. You know these books all cost
money and everytime you use them they deteriorate two bits
worth."
Suppose, again a professor begins each lecture by collecting a dime
for slapping your weight down on the arm rest.
The fee is supposed to enable the administration to provide us
with full time attendants. As near as I can remember the library has
full time attendents without charging extra,
Those are the only two reason for the charge which are being
bandied about. Perhaps there are others. Maybe the Athletic Ad-
ministration is actually on the verge of bankruptcy and all the
talk about the successful football season is merely a false front?
If that is the case why haven't we been informed? Why hasn't
the Administration announced to the student body that the tennis fee
was being l-vied and why it was being levied.
"hen there is the matter that gripes most of us, that of how the
fee is oejng levied-twenty-five cents per hour per person. The nor-
mal reaction to this is "why don't they get a gun."
A doubles match nets the Administration twice as much as a
singles match does. The same area is used but the price for using
it is doubled. The next step is the elimination of singles because we
don't have sufficient facilities to enable everyone to play, so we'11
have to double up.
We are pretty much reconciled to the fact that there isn't much
given away for nothing around this place, but we have also felt that
our tuition does entitle us to the use of the University's facilities.
When it is made clear to us that additional charges are necessary
we do not object to them. No one has taken the trouble to make this
clear to us.
If a tennis court charge is necessary-which remains to be
proved-here is an alternate suggestion for the levying of that charge.
It could be handAd the way the I-M department handles its
allocation of lockers. For a dollar and a half a student gets a loek-
er for a semester. If he doesn't have a permanent locker lie may
then pay his twenty-five cents for the day, the whole day.
The tennis court fee could be charged in the same way. A card or
a punch on the student ID card would show that the fee had been paid.
As fas as I know, now, no fee is justified, but twenty-five cents an
hour is a downright outrage. At those rates tennis players like myself
can run up fat bills just chasing tennis balls.
Diamond Squads Begin First
Week of Conference Games

In Olympies
et Unbeaten

If a great sprint star is unveiled
at next Wednesday's Daily-spon-
sored 100-yard dash contest it
won't be any great surprise to
those who have followed Michigan
track through the years.
Wolverine tradition has dated
way back to 1904 when a guy
named Archie Hahn became the
first American double winner in
the Olympics. He was good enough
to smash all existing records then
held in both the 100 and 200 meter
dashes.
Dlympic Sensation
In the '04 Olympics this guy
Hahn ran the 100 meters in eleven
seconds flat and then came back
to run the 200 in 21.6.
Hahn started something that
was to become a great tradition at
Michigan.
Only four Americans have ever
been double winners in the Olym-
pics-three of them have been
from Michigan.
Besides Hahn there was Ralph
Craig who set the world reeling on
its heels with his spectacular per-
formance in the 1912 games. His
10.8 in the 100 was one of the best
performances of his day.
Greatest of All
Then in 1932 came the greatest
Wolverine dashman of them all.
Eddie Tolan. The youthful De-
troiter seemed to come out of no-
where to sweep all opposition aside
and claim the title as the world's
greatest sprint star.
In the 1932 Olympics Tolan set
a record in the 100 meter dash of
10.3 seconds that still stands, and
his amazing 21.2 in the 200 was
equally spectacular.
The bespectacled speedster, who
looked like anything but a sprint
star, also set and still shares the
Michigan varsity record in the 100
yard dash of 9.5 seconds.
Still Another Star
But the Wolverine tradition goes
even beyond that-as recently as
136 Sam Stoller was tearing up
the cinders as one of America's
top sprinters. Although he didn't
win the '36 Olympic dashes, he
did his country and his school
proud.
Stoller is co-holder of the Mich-
igan varsity 100 yard dash record
with Tolan.
In '36 Stoller ran into some op-
position from the only other
American double winner and prob-
ably the greatest runner ever to
don a track suit, Jesse Owens.
Owens not only captured both
dashes but also established a new
record in the broad jump and ran
the low hurdles.
In the 1928 Olympics, the Wol-
verines were represented by Buck
Heser who ran for Canada.
No Representative This Time
With the approach of the first
Olympic games since 1936 it ap-
pears unlikely that Michigan will
be represented in either of the

Michigan's greatest

with the parting of Len Alkon,
Big Nine dash champion in 1943
is still upon us.
Going through its fifth year
without an outstanding dashman
is something uncommon for the
men in Maize and Blue.
During the period from 1930 to
1940 the Wolverines grabbed 42 of
150 possible points in the 100 yard
dash in Conference meets - the
largest total of any school. In the
60 indoors the figures are even
points possible the Wolverines
took 50.
Superiority Unquestioned
The next best was Iowa. with 21.
Michigan superiority was unques-
tioned.
With these facts in mind, the
Michigan Daily conceived the con-
test idea. In support of Michigan
tradition and Michigan track su-
periority the search to reveal an-
other Stoller, Tolan or Hahn has
been started.
